Making Bridal Horseshoes!!
I made one of these last week for a friend of a friend as she had been all over and couldnt find any to buy, she then showed the lady in the bridal shop who has asked if I could do her some samples, I have no idea what to charge for them..any help welcome..what would you pay LOL!! the boxes are 8 inches by 8 inches so they arent small and I have lined with papers from Bearlymine Designs Damask Delight..Donna's papers are so versatile I dont have to look too far for what I want!!, I did 2 with lace and 2 without and one of those in ivory and gold, I dont want to ask too much but would like a fair price for my work...please help LOL!!

Please be gentle with me as this is my very first attempt at altering anything, I am so Inspired by Brenda of http://bumblebeesandbutterflieswithbrenda.blogspot.com/ and Cheryl of http://cheryl-cherylscreativeatcscards.blogspot.com/ whom are totally on a different level in their art and craft ability to me but as I said I have been inspired by these two very talented ladies and thought I would try and alter this wooden box which I picked up at a charity shop for 99p what a bargain!! I felt as if I've held back a bit with the decorating of it incase I ruined it I was aiming for a shabby chic effect and used tim holtz distress ink, bundled sage to help me with the distressing, I only noticed this morning I have a brush hair on the top and didnt want to mess around with it incase i spoil it ......any suggestions or advice will be gratefully recieved.
Anyway thought I would share my project with you as any critisism good or bad will be well recieved as I say this is new to me and boy did I enjoy it!!! will definitly do more.
The Box..........is a gift for my Mum to keep all her little treasures in A Memory Box
